Inspired by our trip to the George Eastman house last week for the gingerbread house display we set out to make our own creations with our friends the Maxfields.  Mrs. Maxfield worked hard to create 7 individual salt dough houses that promptly warped.  She then made 7 individual houses out of cardboard.  She has a lot of time on her hands, I guess. 

With a tableful of candy and seven tubes of frosting we set out to destroy the family room decorate houses fit for royalty.  Then the boys decided their houses were just fine and set out to play football.  The girls were serious about using up their tubes of frosting and as many pieces of candy as possible.  It really was a lot of fun.  And it cleaned up rather quickly.   {I know some of you will have chest pains just looking at the mess!}

And Tabitha walked by her house over and over again in the evening… swiping tastes of her house, despite the fact that some of the candy was years old!  ♥
